A study on the rapid fermentation of fish sauce has been carried out for effective utilization of sardine. The frozen sardine was thawed at room temperature, chopped, homogenized with equal amount of water and then hydrolyzed by addition of commercial proteolytic enzymes such as bromelain, papaya protease, ficin and a enzyme mixture under different conditions of hydrolysis. The effect of wheat gluten for masking fishy odor and color development during thermal treatment were also tested. The reaction mixture was heated for 30 minutes at $100^{\circ}C$ for enzyme inactivation, pasteurization and color development and then centrifuged for 20 minutes at 4,000 rpm. Finally, table salt and benzoic acid were added for bacteriostatic effect. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. The hydrolyzing temperature, time, pH and the concentration of enzymes based on the weight of whole sardine for optimal hydrolysis were as follows: autolysis, $52.5^{\circ}C$, 4 hours, pH 8.0: with $0.25\%$ bromelain, $52.5^{\circ}C$, 4 hours, pH 6.6 :with $0.25\%$ ficin, $52.5^{\circ}C$, 4 hours, pH 6.8: with $0.3\%$ papaya protease, $52.5^{\circ}C$, 4 hours, pH 6.6: with $6\%$ enzyme mixture, $52.5^{\circ}C$, 4 hours, pH 6.9, respectively. But pH control was not much beneficial in increasing yield. 2. The hydrolytic reaction of chopped sardine with proteolytic enzymes could be interpreted as a first order reaction that devided into 2 periods with different reaction rate constsnts. $Q_{10}$ values of the first period prior to 4 hours were 1.23 to 1.31, and those of post 4 hours were 1.25 to 1.55. The corresponding activation energies were $1.81{\times}10^4\;to\;2.34{\times}10^4\;kJ/kmol$ and $1.92{\times}10^4\;to\;3.77{\times}10^4\;kJ/kmol$, respectively. 3. The reasonable amount of $75\%$ vital wheat gluten for addition was $9\%$ of chopped sardine. 4. The dark brown color was mainly developed during the thermal treatment for 30 minutes at $100^{\circ}C$ and not changed during storage.

Beat-to-beat changes in heart period (heart period variability, HPV) are mediated by fluctuations in autonomic activity. Spectral analysis is used to quantify such fluctuations in the range of 0.15-0.40 Hz (high frequency, HF), which are influenced primarily by parasympathetic factors. These fluctuations are often referred to as RSA (respiratory sinus arrhythmia), the physiological phenomenon extracted by spectral analysis and other methods including histograms of heart rate ( HR), deviations of HR etc. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia indexing with peak-to-valley method suggested by Grossman et at., (1981) yields a simple range statistic and is quantified on breath-by-breath basis, thus being quite sensitive and less dependent on recording time as compared to spectral analysis. It is strongly recommended to use at least 1 min epoch to asses HF component of HPV and at least 2 min fer low frequency (LF) of HPV and even 5 min far valid clinical assessment. Peak-to-valley statistic is limited to RSA index only, but has its pragmatic advantages. Most important is possibility of its application far relatively small epoch analysis. We used short periods (20,30, 40 sec only) and off-line analysis of RSA using ECG and respiration curve this method of assessment and proved that this method is more practically effective. The RSA index was not so far dependent on respiration pattern differences and reflected actual vagal control of HR and were accompanied by low HR under some high stress conditions and in an aversive affective visual stimulation experiments. Another factor that might modulate cardiac chronotropic response is the interaction of sympathetic and parasympathetic inputs on sino-atrial (SA) node level, because responses to vagal influences are known to be proportional to ongoing sympathetic activity, that is so called accentuated antagonism. Since sympathetic outflow (increment of influences on SA) under negative emotions or stress was high in almost all physiological responses, vagal effects on HR could be therefore potentiated, leading to masking of output cardiac response seen in HPV, In the case of moderate sympathetic activation, on the other hand, autonomic interactions in cardiac control appear to be minimal. Thus RSA index appears to be an effective alternative method to assess and measure spectral HPV.

Objectives: This study aimed to confirm the optimal processing conditions of the asbestos stabilizer by considering various actual environments at the time of stabilization treatment of the ceiling materials containing asbestos with asbestos stabilizer. Methods: The anti-scattering performances of the asbestos stabilizer were confirmed by considering the method and quantity of the asbestos stabilizer treated, comparing the loss weight by measuring the weight of ceiling materials prior to and after having treated 30, 50, 100, 200, and 400 of stabilizer using the brush and spray. The effects of backside dust and steel frame structure on the performances of the stabilizer was also confirmed by comparing samples with and without the dust on the rear surface removed by wiping the ceiling material specimens and the blinding treatment simulated by using tape. Results: The asbestos stabilization treatment using the brush method in comparison with the use of a spray has reduced stabilizer loss, resulting in better anti-scattering performance. In addition, the stabilizer loss is increased with increasing treatment quantity; as a result, treating a larger quantity of stabilizer does not improve the performance. For the conditions related to ceiling materials, the anti-scattering performance is enhanced by removing the backside dust and spreading the stabilizer evenly on the masking portion by steel frame structures. Conclusions: Based on these results, it is determined that the appropriate choice of the tool used for the treatment of the asbestos stabilizer and the appropriate quantity of asbestos stabilizer were needed at the time of actual stabilization processing of the ceiling materials containing asbestos. Moreover, this study confirmed that preliminary processing and verification of the structure at which the ceiling materials are installed can enhance the effectiveness of prevention of the scattering of asbestos into the air.

This study was attempted to develop technique of masking the pungent odor of chonggugjang using two-stage fermentation method with mixed pure cultures. Cooked soybeans were fermented with Lactobacilli or Aspergillus oryzae at $38^{\circ}C$ for 36 hrs, and then re-fermented with Bacillus subtilis for 12 hrs. The volatile compounds of chonggugjang were obtained with a SDE(Simultaneous steam Distillation and solvent Extraction) system and the extracts were identified by GC and GC-MS. The experimental results revealed the presence of 35 volatile compounds in control chonggugjang(only Bacillus subtilis inoculation). Among them, the major volatile compounds were 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, 2,3,5-trimethyl pyrazine and 2-methyl pyrazine. Twenty-nine kinds of volatile compounds were in chonggugjang prepared by two-stage fermentation method with Lactobacilli and Bacillus subtilis(II), and major volatile compounds were identified to be 2,3,5-trimethyl pyrazine and 2,5-dimethyl Pyrazine. In chonggugjang(Asp. oryzae and then Bacillus subtilis inoculation(III)), the contents of hexadecanoic acid and 2-methyl pyrazine were patricularly high and the main components of chonggugjang fermented with rice straw(IV) were 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine, 2,3,5-trimethyl pyrazine etc. In conclusion, the flavor compounds such as 2, 5-dimethyl pyrazine, 2,3,5-trimethyl pyrazine and 2-methyl pyrazine were increased by the inoculation of Lactobacilli or Asp. oryzae, where as unpleasant odor components-butyric acid and valeric acid were decreased. Compared with volatile compounds of chonggugjang made from different soybean cultivars, the flavor compounds (2-methyl pyrazine 2,5-dimethyl pyrazine 2,6-dimethyl pyrazine 2,3-dimethyl pyrazine 2-acetyl pyrazine 2,3,5-trimethyl pyrazine 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethyl pyrazine) of chonggugiang prepared with Sinpaldalkong were high.

This study was conducted to investigate the usefulness of Perilla frutescens var. acuta as a natural spice. Volatile flavor components of dried Perilla frutescens var. acuta were extracted by supercritical fluid extraction method using diethyl ether as solvent. Essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Identification of volatile flavor components was based on the RI of GC and mass spectrum of GC-MS. A total of 24 components, including 4 hydrocarbons, 3 aldehydes, 8 alcohols, 4 esters, 3 acids and 2 miscellaneous components were identified in the essential oils. L-Perillaldehyde was found to be the major volatile flavor component of dried Perilla frutescens var. acuta. The masking effects of Perilla frutescens var. acuta on meaty and fishy flavor were measured by sensory evaluation. Meaty flavor was significantly reduced with the addition of 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2% Perilla frutescens var. acuta. The addition of 0.1% and 0.2% powdered Perilla frutescens var. acuta also reduced the fishy flavor of mackerel.

The possibility of developing new kinds of lactic acid beverage from a malt syrup was studied. The optimum sugar concentration of malt syrup for the cultivation of lactic acid bacteria was $10^{\circ}Bx$. The acidity of the fermented malt syrup was improved by the supplement of yeast extract(0.5%) or sodium citrate(0.08%). Though the activity of Lactobacillus lactis in malt syrup was superior to other strains, sensory test indicated that the mixed culture of Lactobacillus lactis and Streptococcus diacetilactis was better because of masking malt flavour. The changes in acidity and viable cells of malt syrup during the lactic fermentation were not so good as skim milk medium, but malt syrup medium containing milk(50 : 50) was nearly similar to skim milk medium. In the sensory scores among samples, no significant differences(P<0.05) were noted between fermented milk and fermented malt syrup containing milk, but fermented malt syrup showed a poor quality. However fermented malt syrup was not inferior to marketing lactic fermented fruit juices with regards to the lactic acid fermented beverage type.

To investigate the effect of organic acids on suppression of fishy odor, the change of the odor and the remaining amount of trimethyamine (TMA), selected as the representative component of fishy odor in clam pickle (15.5% NaCl) were examined by sensory evaluation and gas chromatography. The fishy odor linearly decreased as the amount of vinegar increased at ${\alpha}=0.01$, but there was no significant difference of fishness score for the changes of storage period and kinds of acid. Overall acceptability score was found to be the best when 8 ml vinegar added to 100g clam pickle. The remaining amount of TMA showed the tendency to decrease as the amount of acetic acid and storage time increased and kinds of acid were changed in order of acetic, malic and citric acid. However when $4\;{\mu}l/ml$ acetic acid (=8 ml vinegar/100g clam pickle) was added, the percentage of the remaining amount of TMA showed little decrease from about 95% for 72 hours of storage time. From the results of sensory evaluation and gas chromatography, it was considered that acids have the effect on suppression of fishy odor by producing non-volatile salts by combining with TMA chemically and that the effect of acids on suppression of fishy odor is mainly due to the masking effect at the concentration commonly used.

To develop an effective use for poor-quality individually quick-frozen (IQF) oysters Crassostrea gigas stored for a long period, the extract conditions, quality characteristics, and optimum reaction flavoring (RF) conditions of a complex extract from these IQF oysters were investigated. The moisture, pH, and volatile basic nitrogen contents of IQF oysters stored for 18 months (18M-IQFO) were 77.9%, 6.32, and 17.9 mg/100 g, respectively. Three different kinds of extract were prepared from 18M-IQFO: a hot-water extract (HE), scrap enzymatic hydrolysate (EH), and complex extract (CE). The respective extracts contained 5.5, 8.6, and 6.6% crude protein and 281.7, 366.0, and 343.0 mg/100 g amino nitrogen, and had 811, 359, and 1,170 mL/kg extraction yields. The CE was superior to the traditional HE in terms of the extraction yield, amino-nitrogen content, and organoleptic qualities, except for the odor. To improve flavor via the Maillard reaction, the reaction system used to produce a desirable flavor comprised CE (Brix $30^{\circ}$), 0.4 M glucose, 0.4 M glycine, and 0.4 M cysteine solution (4:2:1:1, v/v). The reaction time and pH were the independent variables, and the sensory scores for baked potato odor, masking shellfish odor, and boiled meat odor were the dependent variables. The surface response methodology (RSM) analysis of the multiple responses optimization gave a reaction time of 120.6 minutes and pH 7.33 at $120^{\circ}C$. The reaction improved the flavor of CE considerably, as compared to that of the unreacted extract.
